Some things are destined to end in death. After the first attempt on her life Maurin wasn’t scared. Hell, she was almost flattered. But someone put a price on her head and things are getting complicated. Trouble is brewing in the fae courts and it’s spilling over into Salem. The UnSeelie Dark Guard have answered the call for her head on a platter and people closest to her are disappearing.

Can Maurin master court politics and find her missing men before someone claims the bounty on her head?

I was born and raised in the Baltimore Metropolitan area but my family is originally from Rhode Island. I spent summers in New England with my grandparents, which probably sparked my fascination with Salem, MA. I started writing fictional stories and poems in middle school. In fact I had notebooks and notebooks full of incomplete stories and poems. One of which I managed to hold on to and is safely stashed in a box under my bed. When I was in seventh grade I entered a poetry contest in the back of an Archie comic and won, after that I was hooked on writing after that. Amazingly it took almost two decades to find a voice for my snarky, ass kicking heroine Maurin Kincaide and complete my first length novel. Meeting the love of your life and raising three amazing children together must have caused a rift in time because I still can't believe it's gone by so quickly. I'm fortunate to have a loving and supportive family who don't mind sharing me with all the other people in my head.

Synopsis: He delivered my sentence with the gusto of a father revealing a special birthday treat to his child. I received the news as swiftly as a guillotine dropping towards a damned man’s neck.

In 1959, a heavily pregnant Kit Haugen seeks refuge in a bedroom at her grandmother’s old hotel, The Sand Drifts Inn. There, she finds a battered, old diary, containing a story long forgotten. It is the tale of her grandfather, Reggie Arkwright, a psychic soldier whose talents were put to use in the First World War. Though Kit has always thought of her grandfather as a hero, she is about to discover the horrifying truth of life and war in 1915.

Set during the battles of Ypres on the Belgian front lines, this novella contributes an extra slice of family history to K.C. Finn’s best-selling Synsk saga. The unspoken truth of the Great War waits for those who, like Kit, are brave enough to discover it.

I was certain that something had gone terribly wrong, because the first thing I heard was a deafening, thunderous bang. Flashes of brown and black shot past my vision that convinced me I must have simply fallen off my bed in the barracks, but after I tried to move, I realised that I didn’t have the ability to do so. The hands in front of my eyes confirmed that I had successfully travelled to someone else’s head; they were hands coated in skin as black as coal. The man whose head I occupied spoke in French when he looked up, but I didn’t miss the urgency and strain in his tone. His vision was obscured by mud and tears, which he began to wipe away with the mustard-coloured sleeve of his uniform.

So this was a trench. It was a deep furrow in the earth that was wet from an unseasonably damp autumn, and I was thankful that I couldn’t smell whatever it was that was making my soldier’s nose twitch violently every now and then. Another hideous bang went off overhead, its echo rolling like thunder, and my man dropped to the floor, covering his head with his thickset arms. Mud and debris flew everywhere, slapping him hard on the back with a heavy, wet slop. His gaze travelled down the length of the ditch in the ground, where I could make out six other figures huddled down in similar states of shock.

“What are they?”

A British voice rang out among the men. A mud-caked youth with a scar on his face raced up to my man, his face a picture of panic as he crouched in the dirt.

“What are they throwing at us, Abdul?” he urged. “I’ve never seen the like of it before!”

Abdul just shook his head as another explosion rocked the very earth beneath his feet. Flashes of white light were visible in the right-hand field of his vision. He turned my view away from them, edging closer to the British man as he wet his trembling lips to speak.

This is such a great read that I was able to read it in one

well. I loved seeing the characters come to life in them. It was just a great
adventure that I loved getting lost in and I cannot wait to read more this
author. 4/5 Bloody Fangs

In kindergarten my life's goal was to become a teacher who wore only pink and ate French fries all day long. Now that I've matured, my goal in life is to become a Miss Marple-Sherlockian-Jedi Knight--I'm totally serious, it's a real thing.

I love stories, and I've had the privilege of working in Hollywood for over a decade in many different capacities, working with celebrities, directors (I'm married to one, plus he's my illustrator), and a few executives (the head-honcho types that I can't talk about because I signed confidentiality waivers). I'm not sure any of these people would have hired me if they knew I had a closet full of mint condition Star Wars toys...

However, the life of a freelancer is not for the faint of heart. I've kept myself busy with my extracurricular activities, from skydiving to scuba diving, a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, a degree in Fine Art, an M.A. in Psychology (with a focus in Neuroscience), and a few other things that I like to keep top secret. ...Some people think I'm a spy, but I'll never tell!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I would also like to say Thank You to Melanie for letting me review your book and for the favorite books post and I would like to say Thank You to Jean BookNerd for letting me participate in this blog tour. Don't forget to enter the giveaway below.

Today on my blog I have the City of Magi blog tour. On my stop there is a spotlight, review, and, excerpt.

At the heart of Astosen, the city of Dein Astos stands as a
bulwark for the free world, always on alert to battle Valania’s attempts to
bring the republic under continental dominance. Sophisticated and diverse,
driven by magic, money, and information, this city of magi teems with tea
houses, government agencies, exclusive clubs and risky districts.

Alexander Locke, a great Magi Knight and the hero of the
republic, lies dead. His daughter, Zia Locke, reluctantly rises to power,
unaware that her father may not have died of natural causes, as everyone
believes.

That is, until she is artfully maneuvered into meeting the
mysterious and abundantly self-assured Grayson Kearney. A keen judge of
character and cunning magus, Grayson rocks Zia's world in more ways than one as
he helps tear away the veil of ignorance from her eyes. From lifelong friends
to sworn enemies, the new leader of the House of Locke is discovering that
anyone could be the next to betray her. What Zia needs is a good intelligence
officer at her side. But when everyone has a hidden agenda, can she truly place
her trust in Grayson?

Excerpts:

“Is the Councilor in his conference room?” Keegan asked.

“No,” the woman said. “But you can wait for him there. Do
you need me to show you the way?”

“Of course not,” Zia said. The woman gave a shallow bow and
stepped out of their way as they followed Zia through the greeting room and
down a hallway adorned with priceless paintings of mountains, ships, and
rivers. There were no people in any of the paintings.

“Shouldn’t we have turned—” Keegan started to ask.

“If Kelley isn’t in the conference room, then he’s in the
kitchen,” she said as she took them around a corner to a grand, slate-floored
kitchen.

At the second stove knelt one Jeremy Kelley, gray, thinning
hair just visible over an island as he reached into the stove.

She rapped her knuckles against the wall. “Councilor
Kelley,” she said.

“One second, Zia. Or Lady Locke, I suppose, since you’re
here on business,” Kelley said. He grunted as he stretched his arm further back
into the oven, nudging a small brown blob over by a fraction of an inch. “I’ve
tried five times in the last week to get these damn spice biscuits to come out
right and I’m not going to screw the pooch this time by having the dough spaced
wrong.”

They waited as he nudged and tugged on two dozen little
brown blobs of dough before gritting his teeth and pushing himself to his feet.
He flicked the oven door closed with his foot and stretched his back.

“Perfecting a new recipe?” Zia asked.

Kelley grimaced. “Maudine said the other week that the new
chef’s biscuits were better than I ever made. It’s one of those things that
gets under my skin. I can never paint a proper landscape, but I always feel
closest to being an actual artist when I’m in the kitchen.”

“Is Maudine in? I haven’t seen her in a while,” Zia said.

“No. She’s out at the spa. I’m not going to let her catch me
cooking until I get it right.”

Kelley untied an apron, breaking the odd mixture of
personalities reflected in his garb. His arms were still muscled like they had
been back when he patrolled the streets, but they connected to a body that had
grown a paunch and was starting to show its age. He wore a fine, blue, buttoned
shirt, with a striped tie. Patches of flour on his sleeves broke the severity
of his outfit, though. His wrinkled face gave way to a misshapen nose, broken
one too many times in battle or training. There was a reason Kelley was Zia’s
favorite politician, and it was written all over his gruff appearance.

“Nice to see you again, Lieutenant Thynne,” Kelley said.

Keegan gave a short bow. “Likewise, Councilor. Though it’s
Captain now.”

Kelley nodded in return. “My apologies Captain.” He studied
Zia’s other two companions and stuck his chin out at Xavier. “You must be a
Shore. Don’t take this the wrong way, but you look a lot like your sister.”

“You’ve met Arden?” Xavier asked.

“I inspected her unit out in the Border Defense Force a few
years ago. She stood out during combat demonstrations. Took down a guy his
size,” he hooked a thumb at Keegan. “Haven’t seen a takedown like the one she
did since. Do the two of you ever spar?”

“Often,” Xavier said.

“Well?” Kelley asked.

“I can assure you she never gets a takedown on me. Spends
too much time practicing magic to keep up with me in the ring. I’m not burdened
by a need to bother with figures and spells.”

Kelley chuckled. “Neither am I. Glad to meet someone else
who knows how to make an advantage out of it. Bunch of guys at Talon Hall never
thought I could make Commissioner without being a magus. None of them retired
as Citizens.” He fixed a keen eye on Grayson. “That makes you the spy.”

“The young painter on your porch, Darius, met us at the
door. We only saw Amelie for a second. Why do you ask?”

“We only just hired her last week. I’m always nervous about
getting the right people. She seems good enough, though I find it odd to be
switching shifts in her second week on the job,” Kelly said. “I’d love to have
the opinion of someone who makes a livi—”

“She switched shifts?” Grayson asked. “To this morning?
When?”

The hair on the back of Zia’s neck stood on end at Grayson’s
sudden shift in tone. She stopped on the threshold of the conference room door.

“When? I’m not sure I recall. Why would that—” Kelly
started.

“Zia don’t move!” Grayson shouted.

Her stomach clenched when she saw his face, staring
wide-eyed at her leg. He knelt slowly by her calf and took a deep breath.
“Councilor Kelley, please tell me you have security beams.”

“Beams?”

“Magi stones set in the doors to record who goes in and out
of certain rooms. They send a simple, harmless beam from one to another until
something living crosses their path,” Grayson explained.

“I don’t have any beams. What’s going on?” Kelley said.

Grayson pointed to a gleaming speck on the door frame by
Zia’s ankle, then a matching speck on the opposite side.

“You’ve got one now.”

“What is it?” Kelley asked.

“It’s a beam trigger. Most people use them for alarm
systems, but you could trigger whatever you want with the beam. Like a bomb.”

I am not a big fantasy reader but after reading this book I am looking into trying more of this genre. I was hooked from page one and loved every minute of this book. The world is so fresh and unique that I can not wait to read more from this author in the future. 4/5 Bloody Fangs

Published: February 10th, 2015

Publisher: Crimson Tree Publishing

Page Count: 290

Genre: NA Mature Paranormal Romance

Recommended Age: 17+

Synopsis: A sinister magic is sweeping across Nash City…

To Fiona Moon, it’s just another day at work. And some days, well, they’re a helluva lot worse than others. As a member of the elite Black Blade Guard, Fiona is tasked with hunting down the most-dangerous Paranorm criminals. To find out who is kidnapping mages and sucking the life energy from their bodies, she has to work with the one man that embodies everything she despises.

Master Necromancer Ian Barroes, a rich professor of Necromantic Studies, wants only one thing in this world… Fiona.

They each hold secrets that could destroy them, but ones that could also be the key to destroying the evil Voodoo priest, Bokor. They must learn to trust each other and track down Bokor before more innocent lives are lost. When Fiona becomes a target of the evil madman, she is lured into his trap. Now, she and Ian have to fight for survival… and their very souls.

It only took Millie a few minutes to tally up the day’s business and put the money in the safe for Mr. Fegley to find the next morning. Quickly wiping down the counters, she made sure everything was tidy. She went into the back room, removed her apron, and took a quick look in the mirror that hung next to the back door. Wisps and strands of tawny hair had escaped the ribbon she tied it back in this morning, forming a messy halo around her pale, freckled face. In the threadbare, brown tunic and pants that were her normal work uniform, she looked drab and washed out. If she weren’t so clean, she could almost be mistaken for a beggar. She swiped at her hair, but it did no good. No matter. She didn’t have time to pretty up, and she wouldn’t be graded on her looks today, just her powers.

She jumped as the clock on the wall chimed the hour. There was less than half an hour left to get across town in order to make the evening test. If she were even a minute late, they would turn her away and she would have to wait six more months for another test date. Luckily, she’d saved up a whole buck so she could take the trolley.

Being sure to lock the door behind her, she ran out into the early evening twilight. She had just a few minutes to make it two blocks over to the magi-trolley line. Glancing down the street, she saw it was crowded with daytime shoppers hurrying home to dinner and the beginnings of nighttime shoppers coming out. Dusk and dawn were always the busiest time in this part of Old Nash City. The vampires who stayed out of the daylight to avoid severe sunburns and allergic reactions were venturing out and mingling with the norms and paranorms who had no such allergies to the sun. The shops and streets were usually crowded for the first hour or so past dusk.

Even as small and fast as Millie was, it would take her forever to slip through the crowd. She eyed the narrow alley to the right. The light from the blue-tinged crystal streetlights didn’t make it into the alley. It was dark and dirty. She hated walking through it even in the daylight, but she didn’t have much choice. Some things were just more important than her fear of the dark.

****

He leaned against the stone wall, deep in the shadows cast by the setting sun and the solar-crystal lights that illuminated the bustling street. This body was awkward and cumbersome. He’d used it too many nights now, and it was starting to get stiff. No matter. He would pick another from his store tomorrow. But for now, he needed to find new food—another worthy enough to fuel his body and perhaps become a vehicle for his spirit.

He scanned the crowd, using his second sight, his divine sight, to view the magical auras that pulsed around the unsuspecting people. They had no idea he was there, hunting, waiting for the perfect specimen. Of course, none of them had anything to worry about. Their auras were all dull and muddy. All no-to-medium powers. Not one bright aura in the bunch. None were worthy. He was just about ready to give up his search and move on to another street when a bright light caught his eye at the other end of the alley. He turned his full attention to the young girl moving quickly down the alley, as if she were afraid. Her magic burned brightly around her. Most people, common people, wouldn’t know what was inside the girl. But he did. Brilliant shades of purple and blue pulsed and shimmered around her. The colors of her aura were so dark and bright they were almost tangible. His fingers itched to reach out and touch it. She was brimming with untapped power. Oh yes, her power would be filling and delicious. She was worthy. He would have her.

Review:

I absolutely loved this book. With two kick ass characters
that I just love everything about which is rare. Not to mention there is witches,
vampires, zombies, oh and an apocalyptic world! I cannot express how much I
loved this book without spoilers so I will just say go read this book I promise
you will love it. 5/5 Bloody Fangs

Today on my blog I have the Prophecy of the Most Beautiful Nerd Blast. On my stop there is a spotlight and giveaway.

She has a destiny so great that even the gods fear her.

Be careful what you wish for has never rung more true.

After a vicious attack and learning that her favorite rockstar is an Olympian god, she is thrust into her new life as the Oracle of Delphi, the prophesier of the future. Setting out to fulfill the prophecy she has been given, Chloe learns of how great she is to become, all the while fighting mythical monsters and trying to outwit the ever-cunning Greek gods who harbor secrets of their own. While on a mission to discover the Most Beautiful, she strives to uncover the mysteries of the demigod Prince who has sworn to protect her with his life…and threatens to win her heart in the process
